Smile Route — Wayfinding & Motion
The logo turns the ridgeline of the mountains into a smiling face — the peaks becoming eyes and a curved smile, a direct, warm play on the name "Smile Route."
That friendly, approachable spirit carries across the whole system, from trailhead directional signs and route maps to difficulty-level markers set along the paths.
Building on the identity, I created the motion design and the 3D signage simulations — modeling the directional posts, trail markers, and map boards in their real settings to show how the system would look and feel once installed across the mountains.
